Yep, was too distracted/concentrated compiling my project, took the subtle trolling literally
Wasn't planning on trolling. It's a way my friends used to explain to other why top post is bad. Being on a mailing list with a few hundred emails a day if you didn't snip emails or reply correctly then the spectrum collective would rise up and pick on you until you corrected your ways.
Though I did sneak in one troll, that was those that reply in the quoted text, leaving you wondering what is quoted and what is reply.
Xena that’s exceptionally poor form publicly naming and shaming an employee. Every one was young and dumb once , but it appears that you sir, are not worthy of having employees in your charge.
Thank you for your opinions.
It is young dumb dangerous idiots like him who get people killed.
He has already had numerous complaints made against him by other members of my department, beside his lack of productivity.
I am gently letting him know that it will not be tolerated, and giving him the chance to consider his behaviour.
I have no problem with verbal banter but do not tolerate practical jokes.
He has done far worse to others, this way he gets a final, and I mean final chance. I have only brought this to his attention so as not alert those who would have no choice but terminate his contract, there is zero tolerance for stupidity like this by the company's HR and H&S: I doubt any of those persons would read this forum.
I could not berate the guy in the work place in front of colleagues as it would then have to become public and he would have to have been dismissed already.
Supposedly a college wizz kid, this person has in the last two weeks played various stunts including putting IPA in a colleagues drinks cup.
If you, sir, think that is funny you are as much a dumb **** as he is.
If you wish to address me again my pronouns are She and Her, my acceptable titles are Miss, Ms, or formally, Doctor.
Not sir.
Regards.
Xena.
Then report it and get him fired, someone who does the things you claim needs to learn the hard way.
I gave the guy a chance by letting him know what would happen without confrontation at work. Due process is a drag to go through and not nice to be identified as a whistle blower.
Sorry for using the forum thus.
However he was more stupid than I first thought as he took a screen shot of the linked post before it was deleted and went to HR himself to put in a complaint about me, claiming bullying.
After talking to others in the department, HR focused more on his behaviour than mine and was summarily dismissed this afternoon.
If he thinks he's funny and wants to act like a twat he can do it somewhere else now.
Regards,
Xena.
I know what it is like believe me.
for a pet peeve how about whatever the fuck you call reassembling a leatherman with those fucking keyed washers on the fucking keyed shaft that is barely fucking visible without keyed end caps with zero fucking clearance on the fat fucking flat hex screwdriver tip holder
why did i fucking take that fucking thing apart for cleaning. You need special fucking tweezers or something for that. holy shit
it would be approximately 50000 times less annoying if the god damn venier end washer was keyed so it does not fucking spin around.
not to mention that god damn lever you need to depress or the shaft siezes. I need doctor fucking octopus to do this shit for me
and chemistry laboratory jacks are bad too they also play demented games with snap rings and crappy rollers.
One of my peeves is excessive and unnecessary profanity in print, past the point of cuteness.
Station Astronauts bobbing up and down, (like some crazed Frank Zappa set).
We've all seen it;...space station 'employees' bobbing up and down for the NASA camera shot, with vidio about life...whoosh...in space.... whoosh. (whoosh).
Such a petty nuisance, In these troubled times. But they also (all) seem to wear the ugliest clothes ...
A friend refers to the pants as 'birth control's fashion, mainly because no one could hope for a date, in THOSE grey cargo pants.
Amazon and Ebay begging for product reviews before I have a chance to test them out. They think the review should be based on shipping and first appearances. I like to test things out first. They could give me 2 weeks to get to know the product before filling my email box with junk.

They don't care about honest reviews and they (at least Amazon) are notorious for not allowing negative reviews. All they need is to sell, regardless of whether the product is good or bad.
I bought a passive audio channel switch box on Amazon.
After 3 weeks the selector buttons became intermittent and scratchy.
I said that in the review.
"Your review has been rejected because of reasons."
Something that bothers me is when quite valuable electronics (industrial equipment, minicomputers, etc) are sent to scrap simply because the parties who are cleaning out a house/storage unit don't see the value. In one recent case I saw what must be at least $5K (potentially much more) of hardware tossed into dumpsters and turned into waste.

Resubmit it to Amazon
Add amazon, company name and model to your post.
Even if Amazon rejects it, google will find it.
Pet peeve: Hackers.
Instead of spending an evening watching movies on Friday night with my wife, I spent over an hour on the phone with Netflix after a hacker hacked my account, changed my password and the email associated with my account, and locked me out. Bastards...
